Angelina Jolie is currently working on the movie By the Sea, a movie she wrote, is directing, producing and acting opposite her husband Brad Pitt, also a producer.

Angelina Jolie also talked about how it was a dream come true to work on the movie Unbroken, even thought it had been a project that was never expected to actually be produced. “I saw these four sentences on Unbroken,” she said, describing when Universal gave her a list of projects to look through, “I went home and I said to Brad, ‘I’m really curious about this film — it’s a triumph of the human spirit finding faith and forgiveness, and this man’s life seems so interesting.’ And Brad said, ‘Oh, honey, that project has been around forever.’ ”
